Low white count could be due to fighting whatever current illness you have. I've been trying to get to the bottom of recurrent tonsillitis (for the last 10 years) and just had bloods done. Docs said they were normal but low due to being ill. Apparently the best thing to do when fighting infection is up your protein intake, as that's the key fuel for white blood cells to work properly.
yep - i'm due in again on wed for another blood test so we'll see how they look.
I've been training hard with high protein intake since so hopefully they're ok
